i've been off since last night - can't post. not even sure any of you heroes will see this... EDIT: Thank Waheguru!!! I'm back. Also thanks to PjS for his efforts in trying to get me back online.

I do think it's realistic achievement particularly as some Gurdwaras are already doing this. Hitchin Singh Sabha are a great example of a progressive thinking committee. See the 'Accounts' section of their Gurdwara's website - www.sgssh.org. When the new naujwaan committee came in they wanted to be fully transparent and update the Sangat regularly. They created spreadsheets (accessible on their website), based on the previous 3/4 years accounts, which helps forecast their coming expenses and income. It is labour intensive at the outset to upload all previous accounts records and, as an ongoing requirement, they ensure the Gurdwara treasurer is commercial and excel-literate. However, it's a strong control mechanism. The Sangat get confidence from the transparency Hitchin Singh Sabha committee provide and the sewadars are able to create a realistic budget for what percentage of the Gurdwara's income they put towards Granthi wages, Parchaar, Youth, Maintenance and New capital projects, etc. This is definitely a great example of good practice all Gurdwaras can follow.

Wah Veerji Nice thought ! I am tired of feeling alone in a minority Having studied in a school with 9 Sikhs among a total of 2500 , 18 Sikhs in my college with 800 and a few chosen Sikhs who hardly ever said Sat sri akal to Sikhs whom they didnt study with at my ex-Employer .I am tired of feeling and being looked at differently .I hope I get my Own Country soon but whats the guarantee that the country will be governed well free of caste politics , corruption and a free hand rule of the people in power.

I am really Jeolous of u guys doing such interesting things.Out here all people can think of is think of earning ways to earn money,struggle for admission to a college which takes the entire youth time,or if they dont have any work go about fighting gangwars with other sikhs or others.
